Question: How is your opinion of technology integration changed in the past 10 weeks?

In the past 10 weeks I have been continually amazed by, not only the amount of technology which is available but, how much technology is available for free. I was floored seeing the amount of free tools which can be used to help either a struggling new educator, or an older, more seasoned one. The vast majority of the digital tools to which I have been exposed are quite user friendly. I am sure that any teacher could find help, not only in ways of teaching students, but in ways of reaching them which will be relevant to them. Before taking this class, I must admit to being largely a "digital alien". Due mainly to the exposure I have encountered in this class, though not yet a full fledged "digital native", I am working my way to that status with much less difficulty than I had imagined.
